Adios Spain!

Hey guys, today is my last day in Spain. I have been soooo busy I have not been able to write any, sorry. On Thursday I went to Seville and found out that I love it there. It is soo pretty and its kind of like heaven. There are orange trees all over the city, 18,000, there is also the largest cathedral in the world. At the cathedral I climbed up to the top of the bell tower and looked out over the city. It took my breath away. I could not even explain what I was feeling at that moment. Also at the Cathedral were the ashes of Christopher Columbus. That was pretty cool. There are only four places in the world that have this. They actually tested the ashes a couple of years ago because other places were claiming that they had the ashes, but they passed the test. I have no clue how they could prove this with just the ashes, but o well. After that we went to the Alcazar, this is where the king and queen stay when they come to Seville. The detail on the walls and ceilings were superb!!! I took several videos of the Cathedral and the Alcazar. Yall will have to see them when I get home!! Then my group when out to lunch. The food was the best I had had in Spain. It was all appetizers (topas) mushrooms, tortilla de potatoes, calamari, bread, asparagus, potato fries, pork, chicken, and dessert. Its safe to say that I was stuffed!!!!! After lunch we went back on the bus and just rode around town. Seville was definitely my favorite part about Spain. After we got back to Cadiz we just relaxed around the city and stayed in for the night. Then on Friday I slept in for the first time on the ship!!!! Except at seven in the morning they decided to do a drill for only the workers. Its mandatory for every week and Friday was the day. The alarm went off for maybe 10 min. I was sooo mad. Thank goodness I was able to sleep in. then Me and Elise and a girl we met Colleen just walked around the city and got wine at a lot of the restraints. This was a very relaxing day. We met a guy on SAS named Chazz and hung out with him the whole day too. We did some shopping and he bought a guitar!!! It was really cool. After that I came back to the ship, called some people and loaded all my videos and pictures onto the computer. Today I also slept in and did some more touring of the city. We went to the market that is every Saturday which was soo cool. There were fish markets and fruit markets. It was such a cultural adventure. We walked around the city for another couple of hours and enjoyed some candy!!! Now I am here. Spain was one of the coolest places I have been. It is crazy being in a different continent and having soo many similarities and differences; such as, mostly men being bank tellers, NO SUV’S, no grass, all the dogs are small, not a lot of teenagers, and many more. I love Spain and would really like to come back one day, maybe when I get better at Spanish. At 8 tonight we are headed for Morocco!!! I have several things planned for this trip and I am anxious to get there. We only have one day at sea and we do not have classes that day!!!!! Yeahhh. Ill keep you guys posted. Adios
Love ya
